Appearance
Anga is an average size for their age. They are a little smaller than most hyenas. Their fur is a mid-tone reddish-brown. They have a grey undercoat. They have a big maroon spot on either shoulder, and several smaller spots on their hindquarters. They have black “socks” on their feet. They have a black mane with a big clump of hair on their head. They have black eyebrows and have dark red “eye bags”. They have large canines which occasionally stick out. Their eyes are orange.
Personality
As is your typical Outland resident, Anga can occasionally be a little abrasive. They’re prone to being catty and over-emotional. They often project a front of self-confidence, even outright egocentrism, but are softer and more vulnerable than one might assume, thus their defensiveness should their abilities be called into question. They tend to be vocal about their opinions, at least until a superior shoots their opinions down. Anga loves chances to prove their worth and will challenge others if they think they can take them in a scrap. They are, however, not stupid and will avoid anyone who obviously outmatches them. Anga wants to be noticed and eventually they hope to be a renowned warrior. They are reasonably skilled for their age, but there’s obviously quite a bit of learning still to go. Anga has problems in social situations, awkward and broody one half of the time, and an attention-seeking loudmouth the other half of the time. They are perhaps a bit too trusting that their army has their best interests in mind. They can be childlike when they don’t understand things, such as when they’re shown genuine kindness.
Background
Anga was born into less than stellar living conditions, but who isn’t around here? To cut to the chase, Anga was the runt and suffered from being picked on by two of their older brothers. When Anga became sick, the clan was convinced the cub would die and most simply turned the other cheek. But, Anga managed to pull through. The illness left them with a few lasting effects. Immediately noticeable was the damage to their throat, which caused them to speak in a rasping voice. But mentally is where the real damage was done: seeing how they were given little to no pity when they were sick, they bought into a “survival of the fittest” mantra. Their brothers didn’t help, constantly assuring them that they were inferior. Now, Anga is left with a cold disregard for those less fortunate than them, a higher capacity for killing and an overcompensation streak. There’s a tiny sliver of Anga that is compassionate and even generous, but it’s buried beneath a metric ton of Teen Angst™.
Vowing never to be the weak link, Anga grew to become a standout among the clan, even though they are still young. They are not big or particularly strong, but Anga’s running speed and endurance are nothing to be sneezed at. This skill has led them to become very valued as a member of hunting parties. Anga will run after a zebra for miles after everyone else has stopped, just to prove they can. When they run and look to the sky, they feel a thrill, as if they’re flying. This is something that makes them feel happy, although they believe it is a soft feeling and won’t easily admit to it.
Anga was still a child when Scar took the Pridelands. Because of this, they grew to have a skewed opinion of him, likening him almost to a god. Now an older teen and at the age when they can at last be a real asset, they have approached the warrior lifestyle with vigor. They want to bring honor to the clan and they take the laws of their rulers very seriously (perhaps a bit too seriously). They are obedient and try to be helpful to the vast majority of their superiors. They hope one day to be their leader’s right hand hyena. One may think this teen is a weak-minded lump of clay to be molded, but Anga has an introspective tendency that will prevent them from ever becoming a complacent grunt – for better or for worse.
